Unusual to see him go to a major rival, but we got Barlow on loan from them last year. With Worrincey out injured though, it could give Tommy a chance to shine, and it might be his best opportunity to stake a place on our wing if he comes back (if!).

Could it also be to get him off the wage bill for a month, to make room for a loan signing coming in to us? I hope Briggsy & Kainy came through unscathed, as half-back, and a possible replacement for Nicholson, are the only areas we are short.

tommy has been a great servant to the club, and he is great coming out of our half and is a grafter...but his best years are behind him and he does not have the pace he used to have. The new tongan is rumoured to be playing at the weekend and as helliwell and Worthington had solid games I would assume he will be on the wing. so lets see what this guy brings to the table or would you rather have tommy in and him in the stands ??

I would like them both at Fev we were told that we would have a big squad this year JB said 32 players was about right for the long season looks like it was too many now What annoys me about it all is that although we look like we are trying to get a young squad ready for next season this season is probably more important than the last 4 financially I just hope it doesn't go wrong with releasing senior players and ones that wanted to play in a Fev shirt this year

I was referring to Peter Fox: He got sacked after the Wembley defeat in 1974 because fans were moaning about Mel Mason being left out. Then when he left in the early 90's a major factor was the fans on the terraces trying to pick the team, mainly over his selection of Jeff Grayshon who was approaching 40 at the time. I have a feeling that one or two fans favourites won't be automatic choices under John Bastian, but it has been proved that the best coaches often make unpopular decisions which turn out to be justified.

Steve, I think you'll find that Peter Fox resigned in 1974 to take up the job at Wakefield. He definitely wasn't sacked.

Best wishes to Tommy who has been a great servant for the club. Someone said his best years are behind him, he's 30 years of age, I'd say he's still got a couple left. I know of Tommy a little bit, he is a quiet unassuming lad, likes a beer and is very likeable, he is a bloke who is incredibly shy which totally contrasts his aggression on the field.

It is a move that was going to happen a few months ago and it may end up being permanent, he's as good, if not better than Rettie, Someone said he'll fill in for Worrincey but I'm sure they play on different wings.

I'll always remember Tommy steaming down the left wing, chuntering to himself whilst outpacing Jonny Woodendick in the Grand Final of '11'.

His Try to level the scores against Wigan comes to mind but most of all, his total and utter commitment and ultimate ecstasy on that glorious Saturday almost two years ago now, when he towed his tripe out for Rovers to beat his beloved home town team.

Always first to training and last to leave, he was an invaluable signing ( bought to replace Jon Whittle), a great club man and is a gent. I for one, hope to that we once again see him in a Rovers shirt.

I remember you telling us at the back end of last season Andrew that Fax were after him. When our Joe lived over that way all his school mates used to say that they thought that Tommy was our best player, and I sincerely hope they get to appreciate him as much as we did. I think he will cover for Worrincey, 'cos he'll be out a while longer, but probably on the other wing. Heaton was there for them last Sunday, but had to move back to centre when Danny Cowling got injured. If Cowling is out for a few weeks, they'll be light in the threequarters and will definitely need Tommy.

MOM by a country mile today. Maybe not the quickest on the pitch but came in for the ball numerous times and is still as slippery and has a great offload game. I would love to see him in a batley shirt.

Tommy can play full back too but you won't see that particular Featherstone loanee in the Batley Full Back Shirt, nudge, nudge, wink,wink.
